) Fraternity parking lots sites of increasing theft
Three University fraternity parking lots were the scenes of a slew of car burglaries in the past week, according to police reports.
Seven of the 10 break-ins occurred in the Kappa Alpha fraternity lot on Lumpkin Street between March 30 and April 1. Kappa Alpha's lot is on campus.
Among the items taken from the vehicles were a Sirius satellite radio, four Apple iPods, a Garmin GPS system and two other cars sustained window damages.
Since the spike in thefts, Kappa Alpha has "amped up security," a member said.
"We've installed better lighting in the lot," said James Curry, a sophomore from Dublin, who reported his car broken into March 30. "It was pretty dark before, so I think it will help."
One burglary was reported March 30 at the Pi Kappa Alpha parking lot on Lumpkin Street, also on campus. More>> - (

Apple held a special event for the press today. Most of the event was about iPods; prettier colours, bigger capacities, you know the drill. For the really interesting stuff, you had to sit out the whole thing: Apple gave us a sneak peek of a product coming in 2007. In Q1 2007, Apple will release a settop box, half the size of the Mac Mini, to which you can stream content. It has a built-in power supply, USB, ethernet, 802.11 'wireless component video', optical audio, HDMI ports, and old RCA stereo audio ports. It sports a Front Row-like interface, and can be controlled using the Apple remote. Its codename is 'iTV'; a different name will be chosen. It will work with iTunes on Macs and PCs, and it will cost USD 299. Update: Eugenia and I both blogged about the product announcements. Eugenia loves the gapless playback, and I miss adherence to industry standards. More>> - (

"The introduction of Microsoft Windows Vista and its' many confusing and progressively expensive flavors has opened up a er, period of opportunity for Apple (formerly Apple Computer). Will Steve Jobs take a really bold chance to increase his market share or just play it safe with his little fiefdom of iPods, iTunes and forthcoming iTV?" . More>>
